SPIEF Emphasises Importance of Media Co-op in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals
Nada Mustafa
2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the world's largest corporate initiative aimed at engaging businesses in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to TV BRICS.
A session of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF) was dedicated to this event. Participants in the discussion agreed that awareness of the 2030 Agenda needs to be raised, with an emphasis on cooperation between the media in the BRICS+ countries and the creation of a multipolar media space for sustainable development. The discussion was moderated by Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS.
The international media network's team spoke with session participants at the TV BRICS studio in the Roscongress International Cooperation Area at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025. They discussed the significance of the UN Global Compact and how media cooperation contributes to raising awareness of the SDGs.
Tatiana Valovaya, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva and Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, noted that without the participation of business, the Sustainable Development Goals are unattainable, and this is precisely the significance of the compact. She recalled that companies from 160 countries that share the principles of responsibility, respect for human rights, and environmental protection have joined the compact.
"The SDGs are focused on the 2030 horizon. But sustainable development, as a model of economic and social development for humanity, will not end by that time. On the contrary, our task is to make every effort now not only to achieve the goals set, but also to rethink our mentality, economic and social policies during this period so that beyond the 2030 horizon, humanity will continue on the path of sustainable development," Valovaya said.
